Anecdotally, I've noticed an uptick in my eBay feeds recently of items being immediately relisted after having supposedly sold. This has always happened occasionally, but within the past couple weeks, I've noticed it happening for like 25% of my watched items. I'm wondering if bots are buying things for which the owners are then canceling when it comes time to pay.

I've also had to return a few items for which eBay's AI-generated description was wrong in ways that couldn't be verified in the product's images. I can only imagine the increase in canceled/returned orders from all the different AI features and bots.
